To ensure high-quality patient care and build a more effective health system, we depend on a healthy, productive, and engaged clinician workforce. But, increasingly, U.S. health care providers are burned out.
Our nation stands at a critical crossroads. Health care spending is at an all-time high, yet Americans are less healthy than peers in other high-income nations. The population is aging rapidly, and rates of chronic disease, obesity, and drug addiction are skyrocketing. We cannot reverse these trends without engaged and effective clinicians working in systems and cultures that support their career satisfaction and well-being.
On May 28-29, 2019, the Action Collaborative on Clinician Well-Being and Resilience will host a public meeting in Chicago, IL. This meeting will feature expert panels on issues related to redesigning the clinical learning environment.
Please note that this meeting is highly participatory and therefore registrants are expected to join for the full day of the meeting on May 29th. Should you not be able to join the meeting please inform the meeting coordinator by May 7, 2019 so that another attendee may have the opportunity to participate.
